Morphology Control of Stolzite Microcrystals with High Hierarchy in Solution

摘要

The shape,phase,and size of inorganic nanocrystals are important elements in varying their electrical,optical,and other properties,so rational control over these elements has become a hot research topic in recent years.Much effort has been made in the design of rational methods for synthesizing one-dimensional nanostructures such as nanorods,nano-wires,nanobelts,and nanotubes.Self-assembled hierarchical and repetitive superstructures are also fascinating because of their promising complex functions.Chemical vapor deposition (CVD),laser-assisted catalytic growth (LCG),the use of hard templates,electrochemical deposition,and controlled solution growth at elevated temperature or pH value are general synthesis routes.Application of organic additives,self-assembled organic superstructures,and templates with complex functionalization patterns to direct the growth of inorganic material is also attractive,as controlled morphologies and architectures can be obtained under near-natural conditions.
